Notice Anxiety

It creeps at times
And I never know what to do
There are moments when I run from it
But what’s the use of that
Sometimes I ignore it
But that just makes it …
Some people tell me to face it head on
But it’s too much
It makes me anxious just telling you about it
How do I fight …
Or keep it from taking over me
How do I keep it from turning into fear
Nauseating fear that keeps me from doing the simplest task
It’s not an endearing quality
And yet people laugh when I try to explain
It’s not something you can just get over
But that’s all I ever hear
Am I defective
I’m just not sure …
